FULL FASHIONED HAIR NET CAP Filed June 29, 1954 ATTORNEY.

Patented July 9, 1935 PATENT oFFlcE FULL FASHIONED HAIR NET CAP Stephen F. Kayn,

New York, N. Y., assigner to Delamere Company, Inc., a corporation of Delaware Application June 29, 1934, Serial No. 733,054 2 Claims. (Cl. 132-49) This invention relates to improvements in hair nets, and more particularly to a full fashioned hair net adapted to be worn over the hair when sleeping or resting for the purpose of keeping the hair-dress or coiffure from ranged.

One of the objects of thisinvention is to provide a full fashioned hair net made of two segments of netting so shaped and seamed as to form a cap which will completely cover the hair.

A further object is to provide a hair net cap having an elastic band along its rear edge whereby the cap is` self-conforming to the head and will fit tightly against the back of the neck so as to prevent the cap from shifting or moving during sleep.

Another object is to provide a full fashioned hair net composed of two pieces of netting which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture on a high production basis.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description thereof. It is to be understood that modifications in the details of construction hereinafter described may be made within the scope of the invention.

Referring now to theaccompanying drawmg:-

Figure 1 is a view of the two segments of netting of which the cap is made;

Fig. 2 is a side view of the two segments seamed together;

Fig. 3 is a side view of the two segments seamed together, fashioned to form a cap, and having an elastic band secured along the lower rear edge;

Fig. 4 is a side view of the completed hair net Cap;

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary detailed view showing the netting and elastic band in expanded position; and

Fig. 6 is a similar View showing the netting and elastic band in contracted position.

The hair net is formed of two similar segments or sections I-I cut from a piece of netting material of suitable mesh. Each section has a curved edge 2, a straight lower edge 3, and each has a taper or reentrant angle 4 cut in the edge 5 opposite to the curved edge.

In making a full fashioned hair net, the two segments of netting are sewed together by a seam 6 extending the entire length of their curved edges 2 2, and a dart 1 is formed in becoming disar-` each section by seaming together the edges of the reentrant angle 4, so as to shape the hair net in the form of a cap.

An elastic band or tape 8 is attached to the cap along its lower rear edge. The elastic band is secured to the netting by stitching 9, the stitching being formed while the netting and band are held under tension. The stitching, as so formed, extends in zigzag fashion around the band, as indicated in Fig. 5; but when the band is in its normal, contracted position, the stitches lie relatively close together, as illustrated in Fig. 6. This manner of attachment permits the elastic band to expand and contract. When the band 8 is contracted, gathers I0 are formed in the netting which give the cap the fullness desired to keep the back of the hair in place without mussing.

The elastic band serves to hold the cap rmly and snugly in place on the head and prevents the cap from being accidently displaced by movements of the wearer during sleep. Furthermore, the elastic band provides a construction whereby the hair net cap is self-conforming to various head sizes.

'I'he front edge of the hair net cap is preferably reenforced by stitching thereto a binding tape Il, and the endsof the tape may, if desired, be extended downwardly to provide tying strings l2.

WhatI claim is:-

1. A full fashioned hair net cap comprising two segments of netting shaped to cover the head, each segment having a curved .edge and a straight lower edge, said segments being seamed together along their curved edges to form a cap, and an elastic band disposed upon the lower edge of the cap and secured thereto by stitching passing over the band, said stitching being zigzag to have an accordion action as the elastic is stretched and contracted` 2. A full fashioned hair net cap comprising two segments of netting shaped to coverthe head, each `segment having a curved edge, a straight lower edge, and a reentrant cut in the edge opposite to the curved edge, said segments being united by a seam along their curved edges and having a dart in each segment connecting the edges of the reentrant cut, and an elastic band disposed upon the lower edge of the cap and secured thereto by zigzag stitching passing over the band.
